How good was Lood

 

  

Ah the yellowbelly is back  

Dave, why not 'fess up & admit that all your foulmouthed rants against HM was a load of old bollocks .

Blobtwat........are you stupid enough to have Wales down as the measure? When we lose to NZ twice with this crap Bok side, I'll be hunting down your ignorant ass  

Hey Bobbok thanks to you and Draad for at least wanting SA Rugby to be up and running whilst tai pansy was beside himself with joy because we were down. 
Ou windpomp was trying to tell everyone there how we dont get much traffic. The twit was wondering whether the owners had pulled the plug because revenue was too small! Bwahahahahhaha ou tai pansy must be pretty glum today. We get more traffic by far that kamp ss!! 
I went to take a look as SaRugby was down. Very sad to see how things have gone down there. Stu youwere dying to get the comments on how folk here saw the games so enjoy. Hahahahhahaha they live vicariously through us!
By the way ou windpomp, Saffex and Clevermike have your number and it's no use telling folk on kamp ss how you set them right etc. Bwahahhahaha what a laugh!!
Question is was Wales a good test. Will they improve next test. It's certain the RC will be a real test.Just get rid of matfiled and possibly play a faster loosie like Schalk at 7. It's scary how good the Boks could be. Imagine Etzebeth and Loodt at lock. Du Toit/duplessis at 7Meyer needs to give guys like Allende, Reinach,Pollard, Marnitz, Faf test experience.
 


 

 Maybe one should have taken note of Wales performance in the 6 Nations when they lost by a huge margin (26-3) in the game against Ireland.   They seem to fold when under pressure and was not convincing against Italy either.  
The other problem is the team seems to be on the old side with way too many of their key players being way past the age of 30 years.   That normally is a sign of decline in team performances.  

 
Lood was amazing.

I take back all I've said of the lad. Impressed me big time. 1000 times better than the old tired Bakkies.

Excellent debut for him - took his opportunity with both hands - and a great example of how to introduce new talent. Game already well in hand, surrounded by experienced teammates. Immense in defense. Needs to have a better body position when carrying the ball.
Both he and Serfontein were excellent examples of the energy and excitement that youth can bring to a side.

Needs to be managed correctly as he hasn't yet had the injury problems that have plagued our other top lock prospects like Etzebeth, PSDT, Bekker.
Couldn't help smiling when the camera caught him just before second half kickoff and he had that kid in a candy store look.

 oi-matey
De Jager was off with an injury for more than a month recently and recovered just in time for the Meyer training camp.
He is even younger than Etzebeth and still has a lot to learn.   But eh shows the correct signs and is likely to have a long Springbok career as a lock.   I think back of the one tackle he made that resulted in a penalty for the Springboks - he really flattened the guy.  Then also the ball carry where it took three Wales players to bring him down - a hard kid that one.
I think both Saffex and myself mentioned De Jager repeatedly as a potential future Springbok ver the past 18 months and he always was producing the gods for the Cheetahs.  His absence through injury really caused Tight 5 problems for the Cheetahs.
By the way - your description of the candy store kid was very nice - problem is the bugger is so big - he would have emptied that candy store in record time.
